The video-game-obsessed teenager was once obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and this was his happy place.<\/p>\n<p>My kids&#8217; favourite thing to do was to ride the mini train. A long bench that you straddle takes a slow (but still thrilling for the young at heart) half-kilometre tour of the whole park. It&#8217;s fun to wave to all the tourists walking by and to pretend to toot your horn! Note: all children under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by an adult. A bonus for parents is that the mini train has separate (and affordable) admission from the museum if that&#8217;s all that they want to do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7617\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7617\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-600x450.jpeg\" alt=\"Railway Museum Station\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-2000x1500.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-350x262.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/toronto\/files\/2021\/07\/9A097395-D402-4DBA-8BF5-64496C82FE67-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mini train with the CN Tower and Ripley&#8217;s Aquarium.
